Fashion Against AIDS

You want to dismiss corporate charity—H&M using AIDS awareness to polish their brand feels like the textbook play. But the company has reach that most nonprofits would kill for. They’ve got stores in every city, young audiences streaming through them constantly. Point that infrastructure at a public health message and things actually happen. The self-interest is obvious. And the awareness still builds. I stopped trying to separate the motives a while ago.
